Bowie Knives

The Bowie Knife

The Bowie Period only lasted about forty years -- from the Sandbar Fight to the end of the Civil War. When pistols got reliable and plentiful the size of the knife shrunk; by the 1870s and 1880s, the Bowie knife was used as a hunting knife much more than as a primary defense arm.

The Bowie was made in a period of hand labor; the industrial revolution had not touched the cutlery trades. All the work on the old knives was by hand, with an artisan's craft skills that were learned during a long apprenticeship to master forgers, grinders and cutlers.

Our Historical Bowie Series demonstrates the evolutionary progression of the knife throughout America. Each piece in the series is constructed with a high-carbon steel blade and nickel finish fittings. The sheath to each knife is Grafted from beautiful leather with meticulous stitch work and a belt frog is included. Each knife is unique in its own right with distinct detailing.

The 1880 Bowie Knife is an effective knife that is a copy of an English produced bowie made for the U. S. trade. Though still in fashion to carry a bowie, this knife is made with a thin hilt for more discreet carry. Features hand forged tempered high carbon steel blade.

Shortly after photography was invented proud frontiersmen were having their portraits taken with their prized bowies at their sides. This massive knife style was being produced in Sheffield, England for the American market, just in time for pioneers and soldiers to show them off for the photographer’s lens.
